selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

A person's vision can affect or even determine a person's character and thoughts to a large extent. Although Chen Jianye, who has planted land for nearly half his life, does not know how to do business, but he easily agrees to change the original grain land to grow peppers. It is also impossible.

On the one hand, he was stunned by the blueprint Chen Chen drew; .

He doesn't want to be rich and powerful, he just wants to be able to feed his family and not be hungry anymore.

But Chen Chen said it too well.

He could also clearly hear Chen Chen's strong appeal from Chen Chen's description, Chen Chen's determination was very strong.

Chen Jianye was not good at refusing, not to mention that it was his own son who spoke up. He had always placed high hopes on his son who would definitely have great promise in the future.

Chen Jianye was very worried and entangled.

Finally he said, "I'll think about it."

Chen Chen didn't force him, and readily agreed, "Okay, Dad, then you can think about it."

Think about it, you will always agree.

Like before, the old man did not agree that he would not repeat his studies after selling his job, and he was not allowed to torment himself to do it alone. He strongly urged him to enter the factory. After a lot of rhetoric, he also said that he would consider it, but in the end, after thinking about it, he was not allowed to toss ?

Come up with good grades and they will agree.

So after putting down his chopsticks, Chen Chen went into the room and took out 50 yuan, and handed it to Chen Jianye in front of Liu Dongxue, saying that he earned it by selling chili peppers.

Chen Jianye refused to accept.

Chen Chen insisted on giving it, "The peppers that were sold before were planted by you hard, and the garlic was also planted by you. It makes no sense to sell the peppers and garlic and not give you some."

Speaking of which, Chen Chen simply calculated the accounts, "I sold a total of two hundred cans of bad peppers, which is 200 yuan. I took the bus back and forth for three days, bought glass jars, had lunch in the county, and I bought some salt. Sugar knives, chopping board gloves and the like, I used dozens of pieces, and there are about 100 yuan left, fifty for you, and another [-] yuan. I want to go to the county to get a trademark later, there must be leftovers , then treat it as my hard work...Dad, do you think so?"

Chen Jianye said directly: "You earned it all, and you keep it all yourself."

"It's not all earned by me." Chen Chen said: "Of course I have to pay you for the chili and garlic you worked so hard to grow. Besides, the family also has to spend it, the tuition fees for Xiaobei and Ping An's studies, paper and pen fees, etc. Take it out at home, you can’t just go out and not in, can you?”

These words touched Liu Dongxue's heart.

The nine-year compulsory education has not yet been implemented, and it is a big deal for children to study, and the various expenses are definitely not low.Especially now that there are still two children in the family going to school, and both of them are in junior high school, the cost is much higher than that in elementary school, and money is needed everywhere.

The twenty or so yuan that Chen Jianye gave her when she got married cost more than half of the two children to go to school, and bought chickens and eggs when they were robbing. There was only about ten yuan left in the money, and she was very worried, afraid that something would not be able to come up with the money.

What's more, even if you don't use it halfway, the tuition and book fees for the next semester are not enough.

Chen Jianye told her that he would sell some food after the sweet potato and late rice were harvested and handed over to the public. He had to prepare for the children's school expenses first, otherwise, if there was a delay, the future of the two children would be delayed.

Liu Dongxue agreed with this very much.

If this income can be obtained right now, then the tuition and books for the next semester will be enough, and it will also make the hands more relaxed and let people take a breather.

Chen Jianye has a deep understanding of the pressure of providing children with education, and now he hesitates after hearing what Chen Chen said.

He can't ignore the other two because of the eldest son.

He carefully observed Chen Chen's expression again, seeing that he was really not reluctant, so he didn't continue to refuse, "Then I'll keep it for now, and if you don't have enough money later, just let me know."

Chen Chen didn't say anything about the money being enough, he readily answered "Okay" and left with an excuse.

Zhou Ping'an was feeding the chickens outside, while Chen Bei had gone somewhere. There were only Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue in the small hall right now.

Fifty yuan is the ten-yuan currency with the largest denomination currently in use. Chen Jianye handed it to Liu Dongxue, "You keep it."

Liu Dongxue took it over.

She wanted to ask Chen Jianye what he thought about Chen Chen's idea of ​​taking out eight acres of land to grow peppers, but she didn't ask.

Her identity is sensitive, and she has not been married for a long time, so trivial things are fine, but she still doesn't dare to say too much about such fate-determining family matters, for fear that a bad one will put herself in it, and people will hate her in the future .

But what Liu Dongxue didn't expect was that after she took the 50 yuan into the house and hid it, Chen Jianye took the initiative to mention this matter, "Dongxue, what do you think about what Xiaochen said?"

Liu Dongxue was dumbfounded when he first heard it.

After regaining her senses, she said: "I don't understand these things either, you and your son just discuss it."

No matter how honest and honest Chen Jianye is, he is not stupid. He knows that Liu Dongxue is trying to avoid suspicion. "We have already obtained our marriage certificates. We are all one family. You don't have to worry about it."

Liu Dongxue was a little moved, but still asked cautiously: "Then what do you think?"

Chen Jianye glanced at Liu Dongxue, and the sorrow on his face was clearly visible. After a while, he said, "The life is much better now than in previous years. Although the spring wheat has not been planted in time this year, the harvest of artichokes, early rice, corn, and sorghum is good. The late rice and sweet potatoes are also growing well, and when they are harvested, there will definitely be a lot of them, and the ones that have to be handed over will be enough for us to eat, and maybe we can sell some more.”

Chen Jianye spoke slowly, and Liu Dongxue also sat down and listened carefully.

"Although I'm a little tired, I've been here for so many years, and it doesn't hinder anything. I feel that my life is solid now."

Chen Jianye said: "Xiaochen is capable and can find ways to earn money. We will work hard for a few more years to provide Pingan and Xiaobei. When they are assigned jobs in the future, then my life will be regarded as consummated."

Although he said so, Chen Jianye's face was not very happy.

Liu Dongxue knew where the problem was. Perhaps Chen Jianye made a brief analysis and the atmosphere was up, so she also seriously commented, "But this is not what Xiaochen wants, and you don't have the heart to stop him."

Chen Jianye was silent for a long while, and then let out a muffled "um".

Because of Wang Danyue, he has always felt that he owes his two children all these years, so he tried his best to provide them with education, because they are smart and able to read, and they don't need to be so tired like him after they read it. An easy and decent job can lead a better life than him.

The two children are also sensible, and rarely ask for anything.Before, Chen Chen was dissatisfied with his remarriage, but he insisted for some reasons, which also caused Chen Chen to get into trouble with him, and in the end, Chen Chen compromised.

In this way, the indebtedness in his heart deepened by two points.

The burden of the family, whether the whole family can have enough to eat, and the obsession with the land forced him to reject Chen Chen's proposal, but this debt prompted him to agree to the proposal.

Therefore, it has been vacillating and it is difficult to make a choice.

Liu Dongxue was more courageous than Chen Jianye. She thought of the 50 yuan that Chen Chen took out on his own initiative just now, the pen, pencil, eraser and pencil case that Chen Chen bought for Zhou Pingan on the desk in the house, and the food and clothing after marriage. and life, after hesitating for a while, finally hesitant, he opened his mouth:

"Chili can be sold these days, and it will definitely be sold in the future. What you are most worried about is that half of the dry land is planted with peppers, and you have to plant less food such as artichokes, wheat, sorghum, and corn. I am afraid that it will wait until next year." Not enough to eat."

Chen Jianye hummed again.

If the land does not grow food, there will be no harvest, and if he cannot harvest food, he will feel insecure and feel very uneasy.

Once the words were out of the mouth, Liu Dongxue completely abandoned the idea of ​​"no meddling and no trouble", and continued: "Even if there are so many peppers that cannot be sold, as long as you sell a part, you can earn a lot of money." , when the food at home is not enough to eat, we can use money to buy it. According to this calculation, we will definitely be able to earn."

Chen Jianye took a long breath, "I'm afraid that if I have money, I won't be able to buy it."

Liu Dongxue opened his mouth and did not say any rebuttal words.

Now the department store sells things like rice and flour, but a few years ago, they couldn’t buy them even if they had money. I heard that the goods would be sold out after a while, and even people in the county could hardly buy them. superior.Everywhere is strictly controlled, and only what falls into his own hands is his own.

In recent years, the policy has been changing. Their rural area is remote, and they can’t even feel it. It was only when they heard someone mention it by chance that they suddenly realized that this was happening outside when they didn’t know it. The news they heard It's already out of date.

They are not sure about the national policy, and they are frightened by the events of the past few years, so they are inevitably trembling, fearing that the policy will change again at some point.

Uncertainty about the future makes them afraid to run and run when they are just toddlers.

This is really tantamount to a gamble.

Liu Dongxue didn't dare to express any more opinions.

After a long while of relative silence, Chen Ming from the old family came over with a small bag of red dates, saying that he went to his grandmother's house today, picked some when he came back, and gave them some to taste.

Liu Dongxue put two pomegranates on the table, which Chen Chen brought back from Du Xingwei in the afternoon.

Pomegranate is quite sweet, but it is troublesome to eat.

Chen Ming tasted a few, but was reluctant to eat more, and planned to take the rest back for his wife and children to taste.

And because he was busy going back for dinner, Chen Ming didn't stay long. Before going back, Liu Dongxue remembered Chen Chen's mention of sending two cans of bad chili to the boss, so he gave Chen Ming the two cans that were still in the kitchen. Bring back.

After Chen Ming went back, the dullness caused by the previous topic disappeared, and Chen Jianye said: "What you said just now means that you agree with what Xiaochen mentioned?"

Liu Dongxue was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Chen Jianye to turn back to this matter, she thought he was going to embarrass himself.

"I just don't want to see you in trouble." Liu Dongxue held a small pomegranate in his hand, and the sweetness of the pomegranate he had just eaten remained in his mouth, "Whether you agree or not, you are in trouble, and if you disagree, Xiao Chen You will also be disappointed, and you will definitely not be happy at that time."

Liu Dongxue took out a pomegranate, which was bright red and held in her hand. It was very tempting, but she was in no hurry to eat it, "Since there is no way to get the best of both worlds, then choose the easier way. In this way, at least the little ones Chen will be happy, if he is happy, at least you have some consolation, maybe..."

As he spoke, Liu Dongxue slowly laughed, "He can still give you a surprise."
